I'm well aware of the timeline. What you're too stupid to understand is that Hitler new they could declare war. He invaded anyway because he was in the stronger position and he knew France and England couldn't do a damn thing about it in time.
nice try loser
or
the Allies had just given him Czech at Munich for a promise of peace signed less than a year before
or as you would so blithely put it
‘they didn’t see any interest in Czech’
They weren't willing to bleed for the Sudetenland.
You're almost catching on! Good for you!
Think real hard now. If the EU and US are unwilling to commit troops and bleed for Ukraine would you say it would make more sense to compare Ukraine to the Sudetenland or to Poland?
Trump's plan was the mineral rights deal would which put American interests on the ground in Ukraine. We sign a peace deal and Ukraine gets to keep the territory it has left and the US presence in that territory is the security guarantee.
It's the best realistic way out of the war.
But, because he's stupid and drunk on stolen money and knows he will be fired the moment they have another election Zelensky said no. He wants to keep fighting and demands a blank check and unlimited support so he can achieve the unachievable.

The front is moving every day in Russia's favor. Zelensky said Bakhmut would never fall and then it did, Avdiivka would never fall and then it did, Chasiv Yar would never fall and then it did...
Putin said in 2008 when the US first started declaring that Ukraine would be in NATO that "if Ukraine joins NATO it will do so without Crimea and the Donbas".
Russia controls almost all of the Donbas and Ukraine will never get Crimea back.
You are not living in reality.
I am not living in reality?
No small town in the Donbas changes the strategic realities I mentioned. NATO is a formalization of the western alliance. That’s why Russia didn’t make a huge stink over Sweden and Finland joining. Because they were already unofficially aligned with the West. Ukraine is going to continue to exist, and it is going to be aligned with the west, and hostile to Russia.
When you proclaim that Russia doesn't have the power to conquer Ukraine you are speaking emotionally and not rationally. It's a war of attrition and Russia is winning. Just because the war isn't over quickly doesn't mean it can't be won.

Russia has almost fully accomplished it's pre-war goals and you're here declaring they can't win.

Yes because the orange man said it the entire concept of leverage is no longer valid... LOL!
You are an absolute moron.
its not invalid you just dont understand how anything operates — clearly demonstrated
I'm sorry I keep forgetting how stupid you are.
Let's dumb this down for you.
If two men get in a fight and the bigger man gets the smaller man in a choke hold that he can't get out of, who would you say has more negotiating power in that situation?
Are you honest or clever enough to answer that question?

Russia has not accomplished anything close to its goals. There is still a hostile government in Kyiv. Their failure to achieve their goals is why Sergei Lavrov opposes an end to the war. They want to achieve their goals.
By continuing to supply weapons to Ukraine, the USA can continue to prevent Russia from achieving their goals.
All silence. TheAdultInTheRoom just committed manslaughter by getting into the debate.
you might need to change that report to a 24 hour hold for self harm and outpatient with a script for anti-psychotics
I admire your courage. TheAdultInTheRoom is intense and long lasting. Your best chance is to poke him every now and then, let him talk in length, and wait for the right moment to go for a fatal strike. Play an assassin if you cannot overpower him.

Is that the situation we’re in? I certainly don’t think it is. In that analogy, the situation continuing doesn’t hurt the stronger party. Russia is paying a high cost for the war continuing; hundreds of casualties per week. Ukraine wants to continue to fight to raise that cost, and the United States should continue to help them.

is this your way of telling us you won’t discuss history anymore in mixed company?
To the typical American, does it bother you that you have redneck hillbilly’s in office(my apologies to hillbilly’s and rednecks). The democratic world is gob smacked. Aren’t you the least bit embarrassed by the ambush and attempted shakedown by the representatives and face of your cy?

The goals laid out in 2008 are exactly what they've got locked up right now.
They oppose ending the war now because they're winning and there's no reason to stop.
Russia has never cared about the lives of its soldiers. They have always fought attrition warfare and won by out bleeding their enemy.
